Fine scratch lines at all the 4 door handles area
« on: September 22, 2008, 12:03:23 PM »
Hi Bros and Sis

My ride is around 4 months old and there are many fine scratch lines around my door handles.

As I am very careful with my car, am very curious why were the lines there.

Any suggestions how to have these lines removed? The simplier the better, haha.

sometimes nails also can create these scratches.  Mine are also in bad shape.  Driver side handle the paint is even peeling off... use touch up paint also not much use.

Hi! i think this happens quite often coz i heard abt this from many people. Just try using wax to polish off. i think most lines around the handle can be removed using wax.

For deep lines u might wanna try a stronger wax like Sonax. Good luck!

To effectively remove or cover it, can Get Mothers scratch removal to do e job
Afterwhich,  polish it and use a wax to apply over it.

other alternative, get a groomer to get it done.

After few months, scratches will surface again. Is like tat. Then wax over again.

Thanks guys for all your input. So from what I have read, will need a scratch removal like Scratch X then wax.

But I saw some waxing product that claims to be able to remove fine scratches and swirl marks, are they effective in removing scratches of this nature?

The fine sratches at my door handles are gone after I wax it using Zymol Cleaner wax. Excellent product. Smells good too :)
